Not much new to report aside from that. I'm living a bum's life currently, and that's only enjoyable for a few days, five at the most. Once you hit that second business week, it just starts feeling like "loser." May hit a Labor Ready one of these mornings, just to get something going... Read More

I graduated! Making the walk made a difference for me, so I'm glad I did it. I'm also glad I walked Winter Quarter, and not Spring, when commencement is outdoors at OSU's (in)famous football stadium. (The Horseshoe, or just "The 'Shoe," for those in the know.) Seating for 75,000 spectators and getting to sit in the June sun on the... Read More

I graduate this quarter. Ideally. As long as I pass everything. Honestly, I probably only need to pass ASL. I think my "final" will be signing "Goodnight, Moon" to my class, which makes my hands shake a little bit. (I've always been able to bullshit/talk through "hands shaking" in public speaking, but for ASL, your hands are... Read More

I'm actually very happy this year at this time. I'm usually not depressed, but I almost always feel like I just want the year to be over with. I'm very happy with this time of year this year, and I'm thankful.

Hope the rest of you have a happy holiday season filled with good cheer.

School is going well so far, but I still can't wait for it to be over. Or can I? The Ohio job market is... not robust.

My internship this quarter is exciting so far. On I'm on a script team for a Dr. MLK Jr. Day celebration that Columbus has held every year for the better part of two decades. We're exploring... Read More

Thanks to all for the well wishes on my b-day. I was really cooled on even caring about this one (35) until I started getting all the messages, texts, and calls. Thanks a lot, from my closest IRL friend to my newest SG buddy.

Summer job is sadly now over, and only a scant few weeks until school is back in session. I am probably... Read More

I am amazed at how much I am looking forward to the summer job. I think the combination of work and school during the school quarters (I'm not taking classes over summer) is probably a big factor, but considering the sweat and dirt involved, it's a little amazing to me how much I'm anticipating the labor.

They were talking on AM radio (i forget what idiot i was listening to) about they had damn near 10,000 people. I talked to a couple Cleveland Cops i am friends with and they chuckled when i asked. One was sitting in a squad car watching the event because it was a typical rainy day in Cleveland.

He said mostly what he saw was racists complaining about a black president, people complaining about socialism and a handful of people complaining about unfair taxation. He also said there was no where near that many people, maybe 1500-2000. He said the organization was poor, the message was poor and when he got out of his cruiser people asked "What's going on over there?" and he replied with "I really have no idea".

He then complimented me as a liberal democrat, he said at least when liberals protest there is no doubt what they are protesting.

So another quarter is nearly at its end, and another Thansgiving is rolling into view.

I am thankful that I am almost done with school, and doubly thankful that I am, as yet, still enjoying it.
I am thankful that I have such a wonderful woman in my life, and I am thankful that we share our home.
I am thankful for my health, and... Read More
